I know that when I replace it with a new head unit it will sound much much better...

Thanks for the advice... the professional car shop that installed it used a meter and everything to make sure everything was in check including clipping... I just picked it up and man this thing bangs... They tried to bridge the amp and the amp went into failsafe mode... so they set up the amp...
